Bachelor of Science in Psychology

As a psychology major at AUM, you’ll develop critical thinking and research skills as you progress through the scientific study of the mind, brain, and behavior. We know that most students interested in psychology are often asked what they can do with this degree. To better answer this, you’ll take our Introduction to Psychological Careers course where you’ll learn about all of the exciting career opportunities available with an undergraduate degree in psychology as well as those that are available with an additional graduate degree.

With classes like Research Design and Research Statistics, you’ll learn to conceptualize problems, evaluate evidence, and apply the scientific method. You’ll also have the opportunity to take classes like Human Growth & Development, Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Abnormal Psychology, Industrial Psychology, Legal Psychology, Adolescent Psychology, and Health Psychology. You’ll also have the opportunity to take exciting seminars like The Psychology of Prejudice & Hate, Emotional Development, and Clinical Child Psychology. The psychology major also allows the flexibility for our majors to explore different minors or areas of interest like the minor in Child Advocacy here at AUM.

Outside of the classroom, psychology majors at AUM also have exciting experiential opportunities to work one-on-one with our faculty as part of one or more of our active research laboratories. The psychology department has numerous research labs that actively accept and recruit undergraduate students to gain valuable research experience. You can find more information about the research opportunities here: [insert link to undergraduate research page]. The psychology major at AUM provides the tools and experience needed to be successful after graduation.
